Black fig
Violet skin, purple, melting flesh: the fig at the peak of its ripeness.
The black fig stands out for its dark purple skin, thin and supple, and its purple-red flesh, dense with small crunchy seeds. Fully ripe, it is melting and honeyed. Very fragile, it should be worked quickly after receipt. It suits desserts as well as savoury pairings, with cheeses, foie gras or roast meats.
